GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESGASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESSimilarities
Comparable densities requires use of contrast media.Require use of fluoroscopy.Technologist also uses overhead tube to produce plain films.
VariablesStructures vary greatly in shape, size, and location depending on body habitus.Great variation in “normal” function.
GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESGASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESContrast Media
PositiveBarium Sulfate (BaSO4).
—Most common—Can not be used with perforation—Suspension not solution
Non-injectible, water-soluble Iodine (Oral) -generally used when barium is contraindicated.
NegativeNormally air or CO2.Used to give double-contrast.

Contrast MediaMixing of Barium
Thin—Used for UGI & SBS—Moves faster - actual speed depends on
suspending media temperature, consistency, & condition of GI tract
Thick—Used to coat (barium swallow & BE)—Moves slowly
Barium must be stirred before useExact thickness will be determined by the radiologist & dept. protocol

GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESGASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PROCEDURESContrast Media
Contraindications/AlternatesThe use of barium is contraindicated in the following:
—Perforated viscous—Pre-op
When barium is contraindicated, use non-injectible, water-soluble Iodine (Oral) contrast
—Gastrografin—Oral Hypaque
Barium can cake in GI tract—Force fluids—Use laxatives & enemas as necessary

To Study Radiographically the Structure & Function of the Three Parts of the Small Intestine & to Detect AbnormalitiesPatient Preparation

GI SYSTEM PROCEDURES -SMALL BOWEL SERIESGI SYSTEM PROCEDURES -SMALL BOWEL SERIES
IndicationsEnteritis - inflammation of the mucousal & submucousal tissues of the intestinesNeoplasms - a new & abnormal formation of tissue which serves no useful function
BenignMalignant
Various malabsorption syndromesIleus - obstruction
Adynamic/ParalyticMechanical
